.happy fleet Week

Found here

It's.... wait for it... FLEET WEEK! Fleet Week in NYC started on Wednesday. I celebrated it by drinking on a boat. (Appropriate, right?)

In all seriousness though, Fleet Week is intended to showcase the talents our Navy and Marine Corps. There are ship tours in the harbor, parades, etc. I'm so happy this occurs every year. First, I get to drool over the men in uniform. But more importantly, our military servicemen and women deserve this recognition. I am so impressed by their dedication. So, in addition to those drinks I bought for a few Marines on Wednesday, I'm sending out a humble "thank you!" to all the men and women who serve. Thank you for being heroes.

So, in honor of Fleet Week, a few ocean-themed things that I love:

My mom visited me on Sunday, and as luck would have it, the Hester Street Fair was holding their Big Social Holiday Market.

A-mazing.

So, down to the Lower East Side we went. This place was cool -- tons of jewelry, vintage clothes and furs, perfumes, home decorations, and lots of food. (P.S. Their Big Social is open through the 23rd. Go check it out!)

Besides a few, fun, Christmas presents, I also managed to acquire this awesome 2 finger ring from FancySexyMe, a jewelry line based out of Brooklyn.

Next on my list is the Meat Tenderizer.

No, I'm not kidding.

Happy holidays kids.

I'm not really a pearl lover, but these cement pearl earrings are amazing.

Pretty things

Dogeared jewelry came out a few years ago, and I loved it then. I especially loved their Make A Wish necklaces, which are tiny charms on thin thread that eventually break. When the thread breaks, the wish that you made when you first put on the necklace will come true. Allegedly.

I just recently stumbled across their jewelry again, and although they've branched away from their signature Make A Wish necklaces, I still love their stuff.

I think their necklaces make the perfect birthday present. Cute, thoughtful, and unique! Maybe the recipient will return the favor when your birthday comes around...

It's October, and that means... Halloween is almost here! This jewelry definitely gets me in the Halloween spirit. These pieces are badass... and a little grotesque.
